Tight hold vs velocity

[Mozella]

Not really - you cannot restrain a 10 pound rifle from moving rearward 0.006" - and if you did, PLEASE tell me how much more velocity you gain with a 0.006" longer barrel.
The original question was free recoil vs held against the shoulder... and you are arguing angels and pinheads - a silly case, and a total waste of time.

All I'm trying to do is to make it easier for people without any scientific background to understand the concept of impulse, inertia, and momentum.

Of course, I have no illusions of being able to MAKE people understand something; I'm only offering an opportunity.

Thanks all I thought internal pressure is why you get the speed Now I know different tonight when we race I will add more weight to the oil pan so the cylinders make more pressure . Larry

Someone say a prayer for me! I'm starting to understand some of Larry's reasoning. Not accepting yet but it is starting to get interesting.

Please do not chase yourself around a tree at the speed of light. We all know what Einstein said about that.

Well the weight didn't work . We still checked 8.97 compression ratio and the car didn't run faster . Larry

Hang it on a piece of string.

We half tracked the field it was on a string. Larry

What yartage?

What yartage?

How about this. Lets say that the bullet weighted more than the gun ( by a lot ) when the gun was fired would the gun go backward faster than the bullet going forward. I think it would.
